کشف امروز:

پس از جنگ اتمی، یک جنبش بین‌المللی جدید صلح‌طلبی پدید آمد. تعداد زیادی از مردان جوان تصمیم گرفته اند که غرایز پرخاشگرانه خود را از طریق قطع عضو اختیاری مهار کنند - خلع سلاح به معنای واقعی کلمه.

کسانی که این رویه را انجام داده اند در جامعه جدید بسیار مورد احترام هستند. اما آنها یک مشکل دارند - پروتزهای آنها برای عملکرد به فلز کمیاب نیاز دارد و تنش های بین المللی بر سر اینکه کدام کشورها حق استخراج آن را دارند بالا گرفته است. . .

Limbo (S.F. MASTERWORKS Book 168)

Memories have huge staying power, but like dreams, they thrive in the dark, surviving for decades in the deep waters of our minds like shipwrecks on the sea bed. Hauling them into the daylight can be risky. Within a few hours, a precious trophy of childhood or a first romance can crumble into rust.

I knew that something similar might happen when I began to write Empire of the Sun, a novel about my life as a boy in Shanghai during the second world war, and in the civilian camp at Lunghua, where I was interned with my parents. Coming to England after the war, and trying to cope with its grey, unhappy people, I hoarded my memories of Shanghai, a city that soon seemed as remote and glamorous as ancient Rome. Its magic never faded, whereas I forgot Cambridge within five minutes of leaving that academic theme park, and never wanted to go back. The only people I remembered were the dissecting room cadavers.

I believe in the death of tomorrow, in the exhaustion of time, in our search for a new time within the smiles of auto-route waitresses and the tired eyes of air-traffic controllers at out-of-season airports.
I believe in madness, in the truth of the inexplicable, in the common sense of stones, in the lunacy of flowers, in the disease stored up for the human race by the Apollo astronauts.
I believe in nothing.
